The Ratio of Reward.

1T is a noteworthy fact, said a thought
full railroader, that the men who operate
the railways of this country get more money
out of them every year than their owners.
In other words, $400, 900, 600 is paid to the
employees, while the owners of the stocks
and bonds get in dividends and interest
$3.50, 600 600. As for ratio of reward, how
ever, the capitalists appear to have the best
Of it. In round numbers 81, 000 900, 600 is
invested in American railways. Three hun
dred and fifty millions is 5 per cent. of that
sum, showing that the average annual return
made to holders of railway securities is 5
per cent. In point of fact, it is much more.
In this country there are about 125, 600 miles
of railway. That would make their cost
SBJ, 600 mile. The actual cost of road and
equipment has not been in excess of $50,
600 II mile, AMI possibly less. 1t must be
memberel that two thirds Of the mileage lies
west of fittshurg, north and west of the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers and east of the
Rocky mountains, where railroads are not
very expensive. The employees on tho
other hand, can't water their stock. And
inasmuch the 500 900 employees earn only
800, OOO, 600 "a year, it follows that their
average earning is 500. Pay the high

KRuPP is DEAD,

Bnt His Works Live, and Will Remind Fu-
ture Generations in No Uncertain Tones
of the Great Founder and Phi1anthropist.
BERLIN, July t5.-Friederich Krupp, the
well-known metal founder and gigant tic
steel manufa cturer, died yesterday in his
villa near Essen, Rhenish Prussia. Herr
Krupp was born at Essen in 1912.
TYPOGRAPHICAL.
Herr Krupp was born in Essen. Germany,
April &C. 1919. His father owned small
rollingmill near the city, and in 1915
he commenced manufacturing cast
steel. In 1925 the senior krupp died, and
young Alfred-then only fourteen years old
took charge of the works and managed them
for his mother until 1913, when her death left
him in sole possession of the property. In 1851
he exhibited his first cast-steel cannon-a six
pounder-at the London exposition, and took
the first prize. This brought his name prom
inently before the European powers and he was
soon manufacturing cannon on a large scale.
at the same time doing an immense business in
railroad castings of all kinds. His first breech-
loading gun was made in 1864. This event
marked the beginning of his great fame and
prosperity in the manufacture of the most i'm
proved war-engines. In 1885 he made
over 100000 cannons which were dis
tributed through thirty-four countries and
his output for last year was even
greater In addition to being the largest manu-
facturer of military armament the world has
ever seen. he was also one Of the largest manu-
facturers Of railroad rails and castings for cars
and locomotives. He owned coal and iron
mines in Germany and Spain, and steamboat
line for his exclusive use running between
Bremen and Bllboa, Spain. In 1881 he
employed 1905 laborers at his
works. 46,T6 people being dependent
upon him for support, forming the population
of one OF the suburbs of Essen. He built
schools for the children of his laborers. where
over 13, 600 of their children are instructed He
constructed 200 residences for his workmen,
which they were allowed to pay for in easv in
stalments, and in addition he operated thea
ter mill, bakery, published a newspaper, and
looked after other industries for their beneht.
